I searched, but couldn't find an existing thread. Anyway, I just finished the pilot, and I liked it a lot! Chemistry's deadly! Ahhhhh! I watch this thing and say, "Oh shiitake! Oh shiitake!" over and over again. For me, that's the mark of awesome. :D

Vince Gilligan was one of my favorite writers on The X-Files (I also quite liked Home Fries), but I haven't watched any of his projects since I became completely embittered with the X-Files and anything associated with it. But I kept on hearing that this show was like, the best thing on television, so I decided to Netflix the DVDs. It looks like I could become a fan of this one! Woot woot!

Breaking Bad is my favorite current show. Every single episode is amazing, and it just gets more and more intense! I don't know anyone who doesn't think it's great, though I do know someone who can't watch any more episodes because of anxiety. Seriously, higher stakes than any other series, and no defusing B-stories. I love the relationship between Walter and Jesse...it's like nothing else on TV. And they're both amazing actors. I just love this show so much.

Resurrecting this thread because I just finished season 1 and holy shiitake this show is so amazing. That intervention scene? forking perfection. It reminds me a lot of Six Feet Under; so emotional charged and well-acted. I'm going to power through the next two seasons so I can be caught up in time to watch season 4 as it airs.
